No rebate offered on the LX25 tire.

Using the post as a placeholder when the UOA is completed. It has been an arduous journey since May 1 for an UOA.

Just arrived today. Despite having a printed shipping label, I was very lucky they found it. This UOA will be the 2nd VRP oc.

The sample just arrived by good old wagon train. Must have languished at the TV sitcom “Petticoat Junction”. At least 10 USPS calls for delivery: Horizon Analysis+ oil analysis in Indianapolis. Stay tune

Had to buy $35+ to get free Walmart shipping, so I bought Valvoline Restore and Protect 5W-30 for $30. Still available for now.

What was the selling price? Beautiful interior.

Thinking about the AS4 or the AS + 3. Which ones and why?

I think they found a similar lead mosaic tile pattern in the ruins of Pompeii.

How is the treadwear? There are some TR comments that they wear rapidly. More like a 35-40k mi tire before needing replacement.

My 09 ES350 2GR-FE V6 NA has 62k mi and it is on its 1sr Valvoline Restore and Protect. The last 20k or 8yrs it has been on a Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, Mobil 1 and Quaker State. Previous 40k, an unknown oil used. Fall time, it is going to be interesting to what carbon I find in the filter cartridge.

Earlier during the year, I stockpiled the ST9972 as part of my stash. For the three 2GR V6 engines, I have nine filters which is enough until 2030.

They call it a transfer case despite being an AWD. https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/transfer-case-oil-change.1577506/

A small Toyota SUV rear differential is less than 1qt. $75 with friction modifier is highway robbery considering the best rated gear oil which is Amsoil - $30. She could have bought 6qts of Mobil 1 for $72 + a ☕️. https://a.co/d/06sXgy59

Unfortunately no. It was 6 qts and I calculated the volume from the safety data sheet density (0.852 g/ml) Skepticism is appreciated but the data shows otherwise. Among the three 5 qt jugs there could be a difference of 10 grams. Weighed empty Valvoline Restore and Protect 5qt 250g Weighed...

Recently, my Toyota Venza AWD transfer & rear differential gear oil was changed for $60 cash. I supplied the Mobil 1 Delvac 75w-90 oil with gaskets.

Not to hijack the thread but my Toyota V6 did not use any Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w-30. I used a postage gram scale. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/measured-vrp-5w-30-oil-consumption-on-a-toyota-v6-2gr-fe.406764/#post-7586492

So far it has helped over the last three oil changes. A full bottle is 300g or 13oz. I have been titrating and just adding enough to see if I can completely stop it. ATF-205 is the next choice. https://a.co/d/08eXmGaL

Measured historic fuel presence has been around 1.5% which is 86 ml or 3 fluid oz. The used oil by weight is within the fuel dilution present in the oil, which suggests a high probability of minuscule Valvoline Restore and Protect oil consumption during this 5 k OCI...

A weeping rear main seal.

No, read the following; https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/parasitic-current-measurement.390933/ Also u need to buy the amp hound to test the parasitic current draw at the fuse location. https://a.co/d/03QPSO32
